In this deeply moving episode of Grief 2 Growth, host Brian Smith sits down with Bernadette Thompson, a certified genealogist, grief coach, and founder of Tell Me Our Story Genealogy & Ancestral Healing. Bernadette’s journey to uncovering the power of ancestral healing began with her own heartbreaking loss when her husband passed away after a long struggle with alcoholism. During her grief, Bernadette turned to genealogy, a long-time passion of hers, and discovered that connecting with her ancestors helped guide her through the pain. Now, she helps others find healing by exploring their own ancestral stories.

🔍 Have you ever wondered how your family’s past affects your present?
Bernadette shares how, in the darkest moments of her life, her ancestors began to appear to her in dreams, offering comfort and spiritual support. 🕊️ This experience opened her up to the deeper wisdom they had to offer, leading her to realize that ancestral healing goes beyond just knowing where we came from—it's about healing generational trauma and finding peace within ourselves.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How our ancestors’ stories influence our emotional well-being 💫
• The mind-body-spirit connection in healing grief 🧘‍♀️
• The science of epigenetics and how trauma passes through generations 📚
• How to connect with your roots for compassion, forgiveness, and personal growth 🌱

📌 Stay until the end to hear Bernadette’s powerful personal story of transformation and how you, too, can heal generational trauma and step into a life of peace and purpose.
